Thanks Cat

I'm so unimpressed by The X Factor result.

But Alonso didn't win the F1 World Championship!

That is pretty good! On Off Topic, it became a regular occurance for a while, like 3 in a row when there were be a posting freenzy going through 1-3 threads a day, going over the 300 post mark.

We haven't had a posting frenzy for over a year!

Happy to be the new mod here. Have been welcomed and asked to post on some foreign threads and other threads as well as becoming a member/supporter of others.

You should have seen mine and Leeann's furious texts about it. It's a total fix and no one willl convince me otherwise, there's NO WAY Aiden got the least votes out of those two in the public vote. To quote someone on Twitter - "It's easier to get rid of chlamydia than Katie Waissel."

I'm only continuing to watch for Dannii and Matt, otherwise I'd quit it completely.

It'll be easy to post on the foreign threads Karen

most posters are so welcoming, I'm here and on Aussie cause now so many posters from those areas

Aussies and Brits

It'll be really interesting to see how the voting went each week once the series is over. I'm so surprised Aiden was bottom 2

tender looks · 11-15-2010, 04:24 AM

I don't think I've ever seen an act be in the sing off 4 times and still survive before this, it's absolute nonsense.

I wasn't a massive Aiden fan or anything, but there's no way he should have gone out before Katie. If it wasn't for the fact I want Matt to win, I'd be cheering on Wagner just to get it right up Simon Cowell.
